I celebrated twenty-two years of marriage last weekend. I say “I” instead of “we” because hubby was seven thousand miles away, celebrating independently.

The Irish Rover Too is closing this week ending roughly a decade on La Grange’s Main Street.

A sign on the door of the restaurant says the business will close this Saturday, August 31st, but another restaurant will take its place.

GOSHEN – North Oldham didn’t waste time laying claim to its own tournament Monday night.

The Mustangs scored two goals within a minute and a half of each other less than 15 minutes into the match and then held on for a 3-1 win over Kentucky Country Day in the opening round of the Mustang Classic.
